In a far far away land, lived a boy with his stepmother.
His only possession is an ax that he used for cutting wood.
One day, his ax fell into the pond in the forest.
As a result, he cried and asked for help. He was not sure of what to do. So, he waited and suddenly an angel came with a bronze ax and asked him, "is this yours?". He said "no."The angel brought a silver ax and he said that the ax does not belong to him too.
Lastly, the angel bought a golden ax and the boy liked the gleaming ax but claimed that it is not his.
His ax is only a wooden one, he told the angel.
Because of the boy, truthfulness and not greedy nature, the boy was given the brown, silver and golden axes together with his wooden one.
The moral of the story is contentment and non-covetousness is the highest blessing.
May your day be blessed,
Dr. Lion.
